Re: Difficulties confirming the same death toll between different sources. Yitzhak Arad, p. 18 of 47 in PDF writes (quote): "Einsatzgruppe C operated in western Ukraine. On June 30, 1941, and on July 4, 1941, 2,300 Jewish men were murdered in the city of Lutsk in Volynia. (Source quoted: Spektor, "Holocaust of Volhynian Jews," p. 66; Encyclopeadia of the Holocaust, vol. III pp. 923-924). I have no access to that source, but the dates and the numbers differ a bit.

• A snippet view of "Holocaust of Volhynian Jews" by Spektor is offered by Google Books. It does not confirm the sourced number being claimed by Arad on page 18 in the above PDF document. Quote from Spektor: "On July 1, early in the morning, about 4,000 Jews reported for work. The craftsmen among them were picked out and sent back home. The remaining 3,000 were shot on July 4, 1941. An analysis of the events in Lutsk indicates that two Aktionen took place: one swept Jewish suspects and communists (the alleged Soviet activists) and the second was a reprisal operation ( Vergeltungsaktion)." — Shmuel Spector (1990), Holocaust of Volhynian Jews: 1941-44 p. 76.
